What are the rituals that you go through in the morning to get your day started on the right path or to get/stay on the beam?

Along with my morning cup of Joe, sometimes before and sometimes after, I meditate.  I try to set an intention for my day, I ask for help and for the well being of my fellow human being, and ask for support so I can engage with the world from my assets versus my challenges.

It may seem like a small and insignificant addition to my morning routine but I’ll tell ya’ I definitely feel a little off the beam on that rare occasion I don’t engage in this intention making moment.

I read somewhere that psychologically such a practice can have a positive impact on your mood, your day and even your level of productivity and ability to manage distress.

I encourage you to try this and see how you make out.
